Dude, all I meant was a leader in green energy pursuit. I do have family who live in California, but the anger you have is really unnecessary. All I said was Virginia and Maryland chose to follow California's example to try to match their emission standards ages ago and have not forced other...

That is quite small for battery life and does make me hesitate when commuting for me will be 90 miles a day to work and I had planned to keep the car for a good 8+ years. I only have one car so it will be my only transportation.

You are right that I forgot to factor in the lower efficiency due to drag.

You're right. I completely forgot to compensate for the efficiency and used only the average. That certainly would change things and would likely be the standard pack then.

It would probably be difficult if they haven't fixed their concept version (don't know how it was broken or wrecked but it would probably not be worth the money to fix depending on what the issue was) and they can't release the final version yet until they are ready for an official release...

They just released some information on the battery today. It's looking like the battery may be around 83KWh. With the battery configuration using chatgpt for number crunching that's about 310 miles which I believe would be the large battery. Assuming its 111Wh per cell.

Should we assume this is the large battery pack then? Playing with chatgpt for numbers, I was getting an estimated range of 310-333 depending on the Wh per cell.(111-119Wh). They did say the large battery pack would get over 300 not the standard.

Virginia and Maryland chose to follow that standard a long time ago. California isn't forcing it on anyone. Califormia became a leader and they just kind of followed. It is also more of a suggestion, Both states have pushed back goals they weren't going to meet multiple times. It's more of a...

I don't know why, but the "Union of Concerned Scientists" made me laugh. Pretty straightforward name there.

I do think it is pointless to set green standards or policies and expect everyone to follow them in good will. Most companies won't comply if it will cost them money and they get nothing in return. There either needs to be a penalty or a compelling reward to get compliance. Stopping the...

So I was surprised to get this e-mail today from Rivian, asking Marylanders to contact their legislators about voting no on the HB 1556. It's a pretty straight forward bill (I looked up what it was on the Maryland website) and it basically prohibits the department of energy from penalizing those...

I know for the R2 they are switching to LGES batteries and the factory is supposed to be in Arizona, so we'll see if its just for the R2 or if they will be providing for the R1 as well.

Just going to put my two cents in here. RJ said he'd been planning something like this for 10 years. Having it as a spin off with RJ on the board and the 105 million investment, I don't think will hurt them in the long run as they said besides RJ's involvement (which I feel is a personal choice...

This was just released as well today. They seem to be slightly ahead in facility construction: Where are we in the facilities construction phase for R2 in Normal? Tony: All of the new buildings are now "going vertical"—that is, walls, structural steel bays, roof decking and roofing material...

Don't need to say false. Just saying what I had heard. I do not know who they talked to or who started that information. Maybe an employee who spoke too much. I was just passing on what I heard.

If I recall correctly, there have been a couple (2 or 3) YouTubers who went to car shows and asked about the R2 and was told it would be maxed out price-wise at 60,000. I do not know if that just meant a trimotor large battery and no additional options (like colors) that may come with it or...

Well my comment is late since I only joined the forum recently upon putting down for a reservation for an R2, but here is my two cents. Rivians delivery is honestly impressive from what they announced. Right now they have the following concerns: -Tariffs threatening to raise the price of steel...

I have submitted the form. Super excited to get an R2. It will be my first EV.
